Create yours at BlingyBlob.com!
I'm a Qualified Graphic Designer at degree level and been involved in several design projects even including at Volunteer level. Recently worked on various design projects including promotional work for the a photography company. Currently involved with Voluntary work with Birmingham City Council website team. Recently completed part-time study at Birmingham City University formerly University Of Central England in Birmingham (Technology Innovation Centre at Millennium Point Campus) from web page design through to Desk-top Publishing.
Also I am involved in various projects and initiatives to improve awareness of people with Autism and Asperger Syndrome using the Autism Challenge name. In particular enabling adults with Autism & Asperger Syndrome should a better say and not be shunned or excluded on issues which affects their lives. This includes using my design skills, developing surveys enabling autistic people to have their say and do conferences talk on the initiatives I been involved in.
During 2008 I plan to create a totally new website to promoting society and challenge attitude towards towards people with invisible difficulties not only people with autism but also people with other conditions including dyslexia
My social life is low key at certain times, but when when I do go out I like to dance away with a good atmosphere.
